Smith stars on debut for Rockets, Rondo leads Mavs

Smith officially joined the Rockets earlier on Friday, after being waived by the Detroit Pistons at the start of the week, and he made an immediate impact on the road at the FedExForum.

The 11-year NBA veteran posted 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists to condemn the Grizzlies (21-8) to a fourth consecutive defeat and help the Rockets (21-7) move top in the Western Conference's Southwest Division.

Overtime was needed in Memphis after Marc Gasol (29 points) missed a jumper at the end of the fourth quarter.

James Harden (32 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds) had earlier tied the game at 104-all with 15.5 seconds remaining.

The Grizzlies were no match for the Rockets in the additional period, despite closing to within two points on several occasions.

Houston big man Dwight Howard, who scored the opening baskets in overtime, endured a frustrating game on the road, limited to six points, 11 rebounds and five personal fouls.

The Lakers (9-21) - without Kobe Bryant - were led by Carlos Boozer and his 18 points at the American Airlines Center.

Jared Dudley produced a faultless performance in the Milwaukee Bucks' 107-77 rout of the Atlanta Hawks.

Dudley was 10-of-10 from the field for 24 points, while he also made all four of his three-point attempts.

"I can't say it was a perfect game because as a coach you always want more, but it was as close to a no-hitter as you can come to," Bucks coach Jason Kidd. "I thought he was great tonight on both ends."

It was a stunning result for Milwaukee (15-15), considering Atlanta (21-8) had won 14 of 15 games prior to Friday's loss.

Reigning champions the San Antonio Spurs' woes continued, beaten 97-90 by the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Spurs have lost six of their past seven games.

It was business as usual for the Oklahoma City Thunder, 98-75 winners against the Charlotte Hornets thanks to Russell Westbrook and his 29 points.

The Phoenix Suns accounted for the Sacramento Kings 115-106, LeBron James and Kevin Love combined for 51 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled the Orlando Magic 98-89, while the Brooklyn Nets edged the Celtics 109-107.

The Detroit Pistons saw off the Indiana Pacers 119-109, the Denver Nuggets overcame the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-102 and the Portland Trail Blazers chalked up a 114-93 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers.
